The Padres had to skip the post-game concert to catch a flight to Denver. In lieu of any team members, Switchfoot leader Jon Foreman brought the Padres mascot, Swinging Friar, to the stage. While performing the songs "Restless" and "Meant To Live," Foreman ran to both dugouts and to the pitcher's mound, as well as rounding the bases, while giving high fives to fans (500 were allowed on the field) and singing on a wireless microphone en route.

"Playing a hometown show at Petco Park was an amazing experience," Foreman said Tuesday.

"The entire Padres' organization treated us so well (and) all the players were so accommodating. And when else will I be able to say that the San Diego Padres opened up for a Switchfoot show?"

In honor of U.S. Air Force Appreciation Day, the Padres presented the band's members with special camouflaged jerseys, with their respective names printed on the back. The band played an hour-plus set to an estimated audience of between 7,000 and 7,500 fans. (Attendance for the game was 30,781.) The band, whose new album, "Vice Verses," comes out Sept. 27, also sang "Take Me Out to The Ball Game" during the 7th inning stretch.

Are any of the Padres fans of electronic dance music? We'll find out when deadmau5 performs Oct. 28 at Petco Park.
